SECOND batch of my Iran photos online NOW! =D

Very interesting idea, but I'm not really impressed by the music it generates.

Thanks for the tip, Aasemoon - I liked it so much - http://www.jackdlogan.com/music/winduino_II.html - surely, the Aeolian harp must have been the way humans first learned about pitched sound; in its original form - "Aeolian harps in literature and music Aeolian harps are featured in at least two Romantic-era poems, "The Aeolian Harp" and "Dejection, an Ode", both by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In William Heinesen's novel The Lost Musicians set in Tórshavn, Kornelius Isaksen takes his three sons to a little church where, in the tower, they sit listening to the 'capriciously varying sounds of an Aeolian harp', which leads the boys into a lifelong passion for music. Aeolian harps are mentioned in Vladimir Nabokov's classic Lolita. A lyre is mentioned in Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" which is another name for an Aeolian Harp. An aeolian harp is featured in Ian Fleming's 1964 children's novel Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to make a cave seem haunted. Henry Cowell's Aeolian Harp (1923) was one of the first piano pieces ever to feature extended techniques on the piano which included plucking and sweeping the pianist's hands directly across the strings of the piano. The Etude in A flat major for piano (1836) by Frédéric Chopin (Étude Op. 25, No. 1 (Chopin)) is sometimes called the "Aeolian Harp" etude, a nickname given it by Robert Schumann. The piece features a delicate, tender, and flowing melody in the fifth finger of the pianist's right hand, over a background of rapid pedaled arpeggios. One of Sergei Lyapunov's 12 études d'exécution transcendante, Op.11 No.9, is named by the author "Harpes éoliennes" (aeolian harps). In this virtuoso piece, written between 1897 and 1905, the tremolo accompaniment seems to imitate the sounding of the instrument. Young Thomas at work on his harp. In 1972, Chuck Hancock and Harry Bee recorded a giant 30 foot

Cool... glad you like this Jack! =) It amazed me quite a bit too...

700-year-old house in Iran - Aasemoon, you must already know about this!

Neat-o. They sure knew how to build back then. One of the girls I went to grad school with was from Italy. Her family has lived in the same house for over 500 years. The have added on over the centuries, but the main part of the house is still in full use. The coolest thing was when she brought back pictures--there's a step up leading into the kitchen area. The threshold is a hand carved wooden beam. So many people have stepped on this wooden stair so many times over the years, that there is this huge rounded depression worn down into the stair. My house is 10 years old, and I'm constantly having to fix something. I can't imagine the amount of upkeep has been necessary to keep these old places livable.

The 10th and last set of photos from my 2009 trip to Iran. =)

THAT's AWESOME! A very unique man. (And I want to grow a 'stache like that now).

LOL... yeah his 'stache is pretty popular. =D

Haha... yeah that's true. =) Some of them do have a tiny explanation underneath them... the rest are just random places in Tehran.

"Cooking, eating, friends, metro, Tehran and even a few photos from the Grand Bazaar of Tehran. =) [Iran is really a lot about the food eh? =P]
